At the beginning, Nanqi purchased the right to use the entire brand trademark of Rover (including MG) and the fixed assets of Rover's factories and equipment, while SAIC purchased Rover's drawings and the ownership of several technical platforms. Therefore, after the acquisition of Rover, SAIC has the right to use Rover's brand trademarks (including MG) and Rover's factories, equipment and technical assets. At the same time, some British technicians are also employed by SAIC. Rover has no factories in Britain and does not produce cars.

Not long ago, it was reported that SAIC would re-enter the British market under the MG brand. In other words, SAIC only uses the familiarity of British people with MG brand to hit the market, but the factory building, equipment and sales channels all need SAIC to do it by itself.

So I think MG brand belongs to SAIC and China.
